Meet Captain Assaf Peleg, a former team commander in the elite Duvdevan unit who today is the head of the civilian security patrol in Kiryat Malachi. 

Since the massacre, he walks around with his MZ-4 rifle & a handgun.

Yes I know what you are thinking, he is just another useless Haredi right?

Respect to him!

Israelis question too, 'Who wants this war?'

By Christa Case Bryant, CS Monitor, November 18, 2012 Ashdod and Kiryat Malachi, Israel--Just days after Adi Pito married a woman from the town of Kiryat Malachi, he heard that a rocket from Gaza had struck an apartment building there, killing three residents.

"I was worried about my wife," says Mr. Pito, who was in a nearby city at the time. "If you ask me, I think we have to destroy Gaza. I think they are animals, not people," he says, pulling at his new wedding ring as he stood outside the damaged apartment yesterday. "It's the right thing to do."

But in towns across southern Israel that have been hit by rockets, other residents only reluctantly express support for a potential expansion of Israel's Pillar of Defense operation and express sympathy for the suffering on the other side of the border, where at least 53 Palestinians have been killed and hundreds injured since the operation began five days ago.

"When people say, 'Let's kill them,' I don't think they really mean to do it," says Yehudit Bar Hay, a trauma expert at the Israel Center for Victims of Terror and War, known as NATAL. "It is an angry feeling but … we don't want to kill the people of Gaza. We see the mothers and the children, we are sorry for them."

Even those who are "very, very injured" from the trauma of living under rocket fire say they don't want to hurt anybody, adds Ms. Bar Hay, who lives less than a mile from the Gaza border.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today that Israel's military "is prepared for a significant expansion of its operations," even as at least 16,000 reservists have been called up for a potential ground invasion. The Defense Ministry has authorized the calling up of as many as 75,000 reservists--more than six times as many as participated in the 2008-09 Gaza war.

But while some Israelis say war is necessary or inevitable, few are happy about it.

"Who wants this war? Nobody in Israel," says Ashdod resident Bebert Avitan, his pink-rimmed glasses hanging from his neck.
